and disposed of a Dirge amount of busi­ness. :M a tters to b e brought up a t the approach ing Synod)-the increa se of stipends, the question of' h elping mis­sionaries m eet the~ cost of transporta­tion, revision of Canons, and other mat­ters-were ful y discussed.

Owing t o the almost prohibitive cost

' of buildin g , at present it was decided to purchase ill$tead of building a house to serve ' as a Diocesan office and a resi­d ence- for the Treasurer.

HIGH FALLS

ON Wednesday the 7th April the Arch-bishop paid a visit to High Falls,

where he "vas the guest of .Mr. and Mrs. Hartman. A most interesting service was held in a disused "cook camp," the congregation \ consisting ~argely of rl1en engaged in the construction of a great dam for conser-\ring the waters of the Spanish River £'or power purposes. High F p.ll$ is a restful, out of the world place,

'--., ,~ ith an interesting life of -its Olvn; tUJd the p eople show warm appreciation of the spiritual opportu~lities afforded thein. Af, in most of ~such places the congrega­tion represented a variety of religious view~ and organizations.. The Rev. G. H. Phillips visits , here at intervals" and a] ways finds a warrn welcome.

WORTHINGTON ~ ~

THE Archbishop visited 'f orth~ngton : on the 8th April. This is a mining

centre in connection with the ~fond Nickel Company, an-English Corporation l ... hich operates several mines and a smelter within the limits of our Diocese, and a copper-ni~l;el refinery at Clydach: 'Vales. The miners at vVorthington are chiefly foreigners, but a good number of English speaking people are empl,oyed il1 the offices and in positions of trust. The village has a population of some hund­reds. It has a store or two and a school, but no church. Services -are held in the · school house. Here as elsewhere people -attend worsh-ip without much regard to what it represents o·r what doctrines are taught. In hosts of places these condi­tions prevail, and this has much to do with 'the spread of negative views of re­ligion and undenominationalism.

Mr. Phillips visits Worthington regularly, and is held in grateful affec­tion by the people. The Archbishop's

presence was appreciated by the little Hock, who signified the fact by their

- presence in good numbers . . FRANZ

-ON Friday, May 14th, the Archbishop , passed through Franz on his .,'ay to Port Arthur and Fort William. A se rvice, consisting of Evensong and Con­firmatioll, \vas held in the school house, ahout twenty persons being present. Two candidates were presented for the Laying on of Hands. .Franz is the jun·~­tion point of the Canadian Pacific and A 19oma Central Railways. It is a soli­tary outpost, the popul~tion consisting principally of railway men and Indians; and ,the Church ' s services bring 'comfort and guidance to people cut off Vkl'Y largely from such influences and privileges. :Mr. Simpson of White River visits the_ place regular~y, and his work is deeply appreciated. A piece of land has b e-en secured by- lease from the Al­goma Central Railway C~mpany, on ,v,-}iichit is hoped a mo9.est church or mission hall may soon be erected. · T,he wor~ will benefit greatly when we have a building of Ollr own in :which to hold services .

PORT ARTHUR AND FORT ~WILLIAM

ON the 15th and 16th )fay the Arch-bishop visited the Twin Cities. At

Port Arthur he had an · interview with the Concurrenc~ Committee of the parish ~ of St. John's in . connection .with the va­canf rectorship. The Rev. O. ,L. Jull, locum tenens of St-. John's, presented a class of twenty-nine for confirmation at the morning service, at which the church was cl"owded to the doors. In his ser':: mon His Grace took occasion to express his appreciation of the splendid record of the parish inconnectio.l1 with the .Angli­can Forward Movement canvass of a few months ago, in which St. -John's was in the very forefront of those parishes which went far' beyond the objectives at which they aimed. He spoke warmly of the excellent work being done by Mr. Jull while filling the gap between rectors, of which. the large class of con­firmation candidates presented was an

evidence. His Grace then went on to 'Speak of the great task b efore St. J ohn'8, the building of a worthy clllirch edifice on the magnifiGent site upon the hill, whic~ is nov\' almost free of debt. " ]\ly mind," said the Archbishop, IS filled witI). a vision of that glorious t emple

. which will one day, please God, crown the eminence, and look down upon u s as .all assurance of the love and blessing of .cod." His Grace r ecommended the building of one part a t a time, as 'the ;gl'eat cathedrals o f the old lands w ere built; and deprecated the spirit of Im­:patience which Bl.ade p eople hnwilling ~to go slowly.

In the ' a ft e I:-:noon a ConfirmatioI,l was 'held at St. Ll k e's, Fort William, at which twelve p ersons received the A postolic rite. In the evening a com­bined Confirmation for the parishes of St. Paul' s and St. Thomas' wa~ held -'in St. Paul' s GhuTch. Twenty candidates were p resented from St. Paul: s an,d twelve from St. T,Jlomas'.

DOIHON

ON :Monday the 17th lVlay the Arch-bishop visited D e rion. . The pretty

little church is now completed. The R ev. W. C. Dunn of . Nipigon takes r egula-r duty here. The settlement is largely English. It is ~ thriving agricul­tural r egion and gives promise of de­yelopment . In such places it is import­a nt that services should be maintained ",vith unbroken r egularity. The people need the help and comfort of the -Church's \ ministrations. Such r egions 'ought to be claimed and won for the ·Church. They are the outposts on 'which the Church depends for vigour.

,JOSEPH ESQUIMAU, the lea~er of the little group of Church IndIans on

.fhe Gull Bay Reserve, 'writes to the A rchbishop.

"Every Sunday we hold a meeting in :Diy house. I try to explain to them the

A SERIOUS PROBLE11 -TH.E authorities of ~he D_iocese are con-

' . fronted by a serIOUS prohlem. Ow­ing to the prevailing high prices the 'cost of keeping; a horse has become almost prohibitive, and those of our m.i ssion­. aries v; ho have wide fi elds to cover I are un a ble to face the situation . The a ver­age expen se of a horse is about $ 200 per an num, which is a quarte r of th e average stipend of a niissionary. And this year 'the Railway Act has involved. the rnis­sionaries who travel by pail in a li}{e per­plexity, by making it illegal for rail 'ways to grant passes to missionaries. The re sult is 'disastrous. One of , our rnen, for example, pays nearly $30'0 p e r a n­num-1:\ third of his stipend-in raihvay fares .

Obviously something should be done to relieve these men. .But 'wl{at 'can b e done? ' ;Ve have no fund from which grants on account of travelling can b e paid. The Mission Fund ",,-ould soon b e exhausted if we used it for the purpose . Th e same 1S true of the Expense Fund.

The Executive Committee conside r ed th e matter at its last meeting, and agreed upon two things. ,Firs t , it was · d ecided that a special fund must b e cre3;ted to provide for grants to b e n1ad(:!. t o the va rions miss ionaries who are eall­ed upon to travel in the d ischarge of ' their duty; and second1y, a , che m e ,"vas formulated to r e gulate s u_ch grants.

The special fund is to be called the Mi ,<.;~ i ona l"y rrclllsportatio~ Fund, an(l con triblltiorf}; are to h e s ()lj G it t~ d from all pari .<.; l 1(~ s ;tnd missions in • th e Diocese , a nd £ronl th e various branches of the

. '\Voman's Auxiliary. Th e a mount likely to b e n eeded in each veal' will b e about $ 1800 . This is based' on . existing con­ditions .

T.he scheme of g;.-rants is as f.ollow s . . U to $50 per annum, missiona 'ies are

- to provide their own travelling exp en ses. If those expenses exceed that amount, the excess, up to $125, is to be l)l'ovided by a grant from the Diocese. Should the expenses exceed $175 the miss ionary

• ml lst provide what remains.
